Trans Period Pride is not cancelled. We will see you in community on June 17th 🩵🩷🤍

🩸 Menstrual Equity Meme Monday 🩸

Destigmatizing menstruation means allowing us to laugh at ourselves!

Being an activist at Mass NOW often looks how you might expect: protesting, meeting with legislators, and distributing products. But sometimes, being an activist is a little ridiculous! This semester, we've found ourselves in some funny situations, and we hope you enjoy these memes with our bloopers.

Take action for our menstrual equity agenda at massnow.org/menstrual-equity 🩸

Every year, the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women awards Commonwealth Heroine awards to incredible local women who are recognized as leaders and contributors to their community and the Commonwealth.

Mass NOW is excited to share that Sasha Goodfriend, Executive Director of Mass NOW, has been selected as a member of the Class of 2026 Commonwealth Heroines! 💜
